The Next Gen ATP Finals are being held in Milan and Lorenzo Musetti is aiming to become the 2nd Italian to win the event after Jannik Sinner.
Sinner won the last edition of the event held in 2019 with the 2020 edition canceled due to the pandemic. The event is being held in Milan, Italy and it features a very good crowd ready to support their countrymen. Musetti, who will play at the event for the first time hopes to bring joy to those native fans with a victory at the event making Italians back-to-back champions.
Speaking on that he said:
"Two years ago I saw all of Sinner's games at the Next Gen ATP Finals and now I would like to keep the trophy in Italy (laughs). Jokes
aside, we are all honored to be here and we can't wait to get started."
There is plenty of competition at the event and all players will be looking to win the trophy. Some big names like Alcaraz and Korda are there as is Hugo Gaston who recently played his best event in 2021 by reaching the Paris Masters quarterfinals.
Musetti also admitted that there are certain expectations as well:
"It is obvious that there are great expectations and great attention to me. I am very pleased to have the public on my side and I don't think it will be a burden; it will not be the first time that I play in Italy with support in favor."
The Italian also backed the coaching rule at this year's event saying:
"Coaching is very useful, I don't understand why ATP has not yet followed the WTA model. It
is my favorite rule and it improves the level of tennis: it exists in
every sport. I hope it will be introduced soon on the Tour."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
